Buffy Coming Back! Well …. Sort of!

Most fans, including myself, were left feeling shortchanged and screaming for more when “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” went off the air after seven seasons. It was even worse when “Angel” got yanked, but that’s a whole other can of worms. Season Eight in comic form never really did it for a huge percentage of the fanbase, but it looks like Whedon and company may have found a solution.

According to Sci-Fi Wire a series of motion-comic webisodes based on Whedon’s “Season Eight” comics is very much on its way and casting people to do voiceover work as we speak.

Based on the breakdown, the series will be based on the comics and feature the characters Twilight, the Big Bad of Season Eight, and evil British socialite Slayer Lady Genevieve Savidge, who plots to usurp Buffy’s place in the Slayer hierarchy.
